The train is real fucking long, and they don't usually bother to check tickets between Cardiff and Newport as it is only one stop. Sometimes though, they do, and then you gotta be on your toes and be ready to bail discreetly in the opposite direction.<br> + <br> + Then, in Newport you would go out the front door. Easy Peasy.<br> + <br> + Of course, the goldern era of free train travel between Cardiff and Newport is coming to an end. There are now gates on the elevator entrance in Cardiff, and on the front entrance in Newport. Bugger.<br> + <br> + But wait! There's more!<br> + <br> + Using my devious mind I have discovered a yet unfilled security hole. Basically, to get to Newport you have to get on a train at Cathys train station, a small stop in the student area of the city, right by the student union in fact. You then ride the train into Central Station (the train will stop at Queen Street station before getting to Central), switch to platform 1/2 and get on the London train there! In Newport just take the car park exit, unless the gates happen to be down, which they often are.<br> + <br> + hopping from Newport to Cardiff you wanna get on the Swansea train. Its the same train going the other way. You can't miss it; its a real long, blue Great Western train with First Class up front.<br> + <br> + Oh yeah, And if you like reading The Times you can grab a copy from first class.<br> + <br> + Happy Hopping!<br> + <br> + == Free Clothing and Furniture ==<br> + <br> + <br> + == Assorted Freebies ==<br> + <br> + <br> + == Survive ==</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
